Prior to The Trump, the US had a policy of arresting people trying to illegally enter the US and charging them with a misdemeanor offense and releasing them pending a future court case to consider their immigration application.
Trump, in his election campaign, stated that he would enforce 'zero tolerance'.
Now, Trump has begun to enforce 'zero tolerance'. Essentially those attempting to enter illegally will be charged with a felony, refused bail and thus their children must be taken into care pending the court case.
So, of course, the media is beating up on Trump.
I don't support Trump in any way at all.
However, surely the first elected official ever to be taking a beating over doing exactly what he said he was going to do.
Wait until he tries to deport an illegal immigrant after an X-Factor audition. Truly an apocalypse in waiting.
